Access Levels & Keys

Lygos uses level-based access control, not permission or role-based authentication. Access is managed through different keys, each granting a specific level of functionality.

Key Types & Access:

Screen Key

  • Can only summon screen clients
  • Shown on the Launcher window of the Server or Settings in Management Clients
  • Minimal access to system resources (security-wise)
  • To be used on screen clients who are not suppose to control or manage 

Control Key

  • Can summon control clients
  • Shown on the Launcher window of the Server or Settings in Management Clients
  • These clients interact with visualizations and control screenspaces on limited scale which can be reverted after sessions.
  • Cannot edit/configure layouts, visualizations, media
  • Compared to the Control QR, this can control all screenspaces

User Keys

  • Created via Management Clients with higher privileges
  • Limited editing abilities:
    • Can edit layouts
    • Cannot edit screenspaces (Videowall Setup)
    • Cannot use power functions (e.g., wake/restart/shutdown) screens of videowall nodes or dashboards.
  • Ideal for non-admin users needing access to visualization, media, map configuration and layout deployment.

Management Key

  • Allows full use of Management Clients
  • Can configure/edit/control all visualization, media, maps, layouts.

Super Admin Access (Management Client summoned from Server itself)
